6. A fire extinguisher system including means for .maintaining two elastic fluid bodies, a piping system in communication with the space occupied by one of the bodies, means for normally equali'zingl the degree of pressure of the bodies to compensate for leakage, means whereby thedegree of pres sure of one body may be suddenly and materially reduced, and means caused to operate by the expansive action of onel body. when the pressure of the other body is suddenly andmaterially reduced to supply additional pressure to the system. Y L.

' 7. A re extinguisher system including means for maintaining two normally balanced elast-ic .fluid pressures, a system of piping with which one of the pressures is in direct communication, a distributing valve in said piping system, means for supplying a lire extinguishing agent and means set in operation by the stronger pressure for causing the operation' of the fire extinguishing agent 'supply means when the other pressure is reduced by the opening of the distributing valve.

8. In a chemical mixing lire extinguisher system,. in combination, a generator structure -comprising two communicating tanks, chemical mixing means in one of the tanks, the other tank 'serving as a container for elastic fluid under pressure, a system of piping connected to the chemical mixing tank, a distributing valve in the piping system, means for putting elastic flu-id under pressurein the piping system and in the tanks, means for equalizing the pressure in the tanks and for preventing the backward flow of fluid to any material degree through the fluid inlet connection of the container tank when the fiuid is exhausted from the chemical mixing tank, and means for causing the pressure of the fluid in the container tank to effect the operation of the chemical mixing means in the other tank.

9. In a chemical mixing fire extinguisher system, in combination, a generator estruc ture comprising a generating tank and a fluid containing tank, a system of piping directly communicating with one of said tanks, means for putting fluid under pressure in the system and in the tanks, means whereby when the pressure is reduced in one Ytank it is maintained in the other tank, an

acid receptacle arranged to discharge its contents into the tankwith which the piping. system directly communicates, and means tained pressure causes the acid discharging operation of the acid receptacle.`

l0. In a chemical mixing fire extinguisher system, in combination, a primary and a secondary tank, a piping system in direct communication with thesprimary tank, a

Lof/spel distributing 'valve in thejpipingsystem, means for supplying an elastic liuid under pressure to the tanks and to the stem, an invertible acid receptacle which, when' inverted, discharges its contents into thepriu mary tank, means` for holding the acid re:`

the secondary tank into a jet which causes the' overturning of the acid receptacle when .the pressure inthe primary tank is reduced by the opening of the distributing Valve.
